Invest in Yourself

Once you learn to paint your first piece you’ll look around and ask “what’s next?” You’ll realize you really can do it yourself, and you’ll be excited to do it again. But be careful…soon your friends will start asking you to paint their pieces!

$20 Instead of Hundreds

You could go buy something new and mass produced for $400 or $500. Or you could spend $20 to $40, paint what you have, and be the proud owner of something truly unique. The choice is yours.

Start a Conversation

It’s not about bragging. It’s about being proud of your home.
Create a one-of-a-kind conversation piece that your friends will ask about. You’ll go from “Where did you get that?” to “How did you DO that?”

Every piece has a story.
YOU get to write the next chapter.
